Favorite music

I've been a long time fan of Daniel Lanois and only in the last months discovered the group, Black Dub.

The lead singer is Trixie Whitley, daughter of the late, great Texas blues man, Chris Whitley.

Brian Blade on drums, a phenominal artist who's work I greatly admire. This from Amazon:
Among his credits, Lanois produced Bob Dylan s Grammy winning 1997, Time Out of Mind, and U2 s anthemic 1987 breakthrough, The Joshua Tree.

Daniel has produced music for an array of genre busting artists, including Brian Eno, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris and the Neville Brothers.

For those unfamiliar, here are a couple of links. Seeing and hearing them is a treat, at least for me.

Hope it brings joy to other Audiogon members.

"I Believe In You," Live Off The Floor

"Surely," Live Off The Floor

My preferred collaboration is Lanois with Dylan on "Oh Mercy" - the result is sublime - "The Man in the Long Black Coat" is a masterpiece. Daniel worked again with U2 Vertigo but I felt that this revisited old ground rather than breaking new ground.

Lanois is Canadian, Eh!

It's Lanois's "The Beauty Of Wynona" that has left the greatest impression...I listen to it several times a year.

I went to high school with Chris Whitley in Vermont - what a great guitar player. Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Thanks for the links, Albert

I'll second Lanois's own, "The Beauty of Wynona", and, "Acadie"

Shadorne,

I have both "Oh Mercy" and "Time Out Of Mind," hard for me to pick between the two, they are so different.

Yes, Lanois is Canadian, seems a good many of my favorite artists are from there.
